Pubic Hair Removal

What are Pubic Hairs?

Pubic hair is hair in the frontal genital area and in the crotch, and sometimes at the top of the inside of the legs; these areas form the pubic region. A slang term is bush. Although fine vellus hair is present in the area in childhood, the term pubic hair is generally restricted to the heavier, longer hair that develops with puberty as an effect of rising levels of androgens on the skin of the genital area.

How to Remove Pubic Hairs?

• Pubic hair is usually removed or reduced through use of shaving, but oftentimes for more long-term removal, wax or a mechanical device is used to pull the hair out at the root.
• Electrical razors are a little safer and do not shave off skin along with the hair. Shaving can cause skin irritation and hair getting locked under the skin area.
• Hair re-growth can sometimes be uncomfortable and itchy
  The trimming or removal of body hair by men is sometimes referred to as manscaping.

Pubic Hair Removal in Man

In the 1990s, a permanent method of hair removal evolved with many opting for more permanent removal of pubic hair. This method involves the use of focused, high power light. This type of depilation falls under two main categories: IPL (intense pulsed light) and laser epilation. IPL uses broad spectrum (white) light, and laser epilation uses a very specific wavelength (color) of light to destroy the hair-producing gland, the follicle. Using light epilation, one never needs worry about razor bumps, ingrown hairs or dermatitis caused by temporary methods. It is still controversial as to which method, IPL or laser, is the most effective.

A Few Warnings while removing Pubix Hair

For some people, pubic hair is always easy and fun. However, for many other people it presents problems. When the genital hair begins to grow back, itching often occurs. Red bumps and ingrown hair may appear. To relieve the irritation, you can apply cortisone cream.

If these symptoms cause you stress or don't go away, see a doctor.
People who are allergic and react to some shaving creams. This area seems to have heightened sensitivity. Furthermore, if it does react, your natural sweat and the natural abrasion this area receives will most likely make your life miserable (temporarily). Use hypoallergenic shaving creams or consider avoiding shaving all together.

Some women have noted genital sensitivity during menstruation. If shaving becomes uncomfortable for women during their periods, they should time pubic shaving around their menstruation cycle.

If shaving does irritate your skin, waxing may not cause as much irritation or in-grown hairs.

Tips on Shaving Pubic Hair

Shaving pubic hair can cause problems with most people, even if you are careful about skin care. There are a few things you can do to decrease the likelihood of ingrown hairs, irritated skin and ugly razor bumps.

Best T ips on Waxing of Pubic Hairs

• Be sure to test a small area of skin first to make sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to pubic hair removal using waxing.
• Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.
• Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first.
• The consistency should be soft rather than runny.
• If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain reducing gel or cream available from pharmacists.
• Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
